Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 boneless chicken thighs
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
8 garlic cloves peeled
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
2 scallions thinly sliced for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and cook until golden brown on each side until crisp and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add garlic cloves to skillet until golden brown about 2 minutes. Transfer to the plate of chicken.
  • Return pot to medium high heat and carefully pour 1/2 cup of water scraping down the browned bits. Whisk in the brown sugar until dissolved. Then cook until mixture turns a deep amber color. About 4 minutes. Carefully add vinegar and stir to dissolve.
  • Add garlic, broth and soy sauce. Bring cooking liquid to a boil and whisk occasionally. This takes about 10 minutes. Be patient. The sauce will thicken and glaze the chicken beautifully.
  • Once glaze is ready, turn heat to medium low and return chicken to pan until heated through. Serve over rice and garnish with scallions or green onions if desired.

CLAY POT CHICKEN WITH GARLIC CARROTS AND POTATOES



Clay Pot Chicken With Garlic Carrots and Potatoes image

This is our family's favorite recipe. I created this recipe when I purchased my first clay pot. Chicken will be very moist and tender; potatoes are done in the same pot. What more could you want? Easy, delicious and great looking dish. I promise, that even your pickiest eaters will be asking for seconds.

CLAY POT SESAME CHICKEN

From Dana Jacobi's book, The Best of Clay Pot Cooking. She says, "Cooking in a clay pot gives you a particularly succulent version of this popular dish. Serve it hot, right from the pot, accompanied by steamed broccoli and rice. Or let the chicken cool, shred the meat, and serve it as a salad tossed in its velvety, nutty sauce." My husband and I really enjoy this recipe. Prep time doesn't include clay pot soaking time, typically 15 minutes in lukewarm water; new pots require about 30 minutes; drain thoroughly. Soaking time is not an issue for me as I do my prep work while the pot is soaking.
